Neural Network Compression Pipeline
Visualizing Neural Network Compression through Pruning and Quantization
Neural Network Compression Process Explained
1. Model Pruning
Identifies and removes less important weights and neurons. This process reduces network connectivity while maintaining accuracy.
- Reduces computation through sparsity
- Preserves critical connections through sensitivity analysis
- Prevents overfitting by simplifying model structure
2. Weight Quantization
Converts 32-bit floating-point weights to 8-bit or 4-bit integers. This significantly reduces model size while accelerating inference.
- Saves memory by adjusting representation precision
- Accelerates inference through integer operations
- Enables hardware optimization
3. Optimization Benefits
After applying compression techniques, the model shows the following improvements:
- Memory usage: Up to 70% reduction
- Inference speed: Up to 3x faster
- Accuracy: Maintains 95-98% of original performance
